Make sure you will work well with your boss / co-workers before deciding to accept a position! - Research Associate Genentech Employee Review

1. Horrible HR system (VERY disorganized and UNinformed) 2. If you have a 'challenging' boss, employee can easily be 'forced out' due to unfair representation. 3. Work and life balance NOT present as company claims it to be. 4. Follow-up to #3 - continuously pushed with increasing workloads to accomplish more and more. 5. Flexible / reasonable hours do NOT exist. 6. South San Francisco (SSF) isn't the greatest place ('shady') to headquarter a premier company. 7. Follow-up to #6 - company location makes for a LONG, jammed commute from ANY direction. 8. SSF headquarters is expanding too much and too quickly for its own good. Takes time to get from point A to point B.
